Easy run. I have been fighting off a cold. I seem to be ok running.

Beautiful morning. I ran over to the Taylorsville track for a speed workout. I warmed up three miles. I ran four sets of 200,400, 600 with 200, 200, 400 recovery. They were NOT fast. I think I'm going to try to find a babysitter and do speed later in the day from now on. It's really difficult to move quickly at 6 am. Plus, I can't see my splits in the dark.

Set 1: 39, missed the split, 2:12 (ugh)

Set 2: 41, 83, 2:10

Set 3: 40, 82, 2:08

Set 4: 39, 82, 2:07

At least I got faster over the workout.

I cooled down 1.6 miles.

Later am: Zumba!

I felt pretty terrible the first couple miles of my run today. I missed the morning because I was up with Myles last night. He has learned how to climb out of his crib, so we are trying to get him to sleep in a toddler bed. It's not going well. I hired a babysitter, and managed to sneak out for an afternoon run, which was nice. Sixty degrees. Can't complain! I even ran down on the trail, which I avoid in the dark. 6:56 average. I tried to move it the last few miles.

Treadmill workout to avoid the wind. Two mile warm up. 2 x 3k, 2k, 1k at 6:15, 6:00, 5:45 pace with one minute recovery. Felt good. I will try to get through three sets next time. Cooldown about a mile.

Windy long run with Caisa and her friends. I always feel so ghetto when I run with the SoJo girls. It must be my Target ensemble and lack of makeup at six in the morning. I missed Jenny. Relaxed run. 7:28 average. I got dizzy the last mile. Energy crash. I wore shorts and a t-shirt this morning.
